Coalville Water System (UTAH#22002)
Coalville Water Treatment Plant (TP002)
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received all of the required items for Operating Permit issuance for the Coalville Water Treatment Plant (WTP) project from both you and
your consultant, Christina Osborne, P.E. with J-U-B Engineering on April 15, 2025. The Division issued Plan Approval for this project on September 2, 2020. The project consists of the
Coalville WTP (identified as TP002 in the Division’s database), the WTP Well (WS006) and the WTP Finished Water Pumps (PF002).
Our understanding of the project is that the Coalville WTP (TP002) treats the WTP Well (WS006), which is a shallow well classified as surface water and located within the treatment plant.
Future plans include a surface water intake and river pump station to treat water from the Weber River.
Pilot testing was performed from March 25, 2017 to May 17, 2017, by Coalville City and WesTech using an AltaPac system with Toray HFU-2020N ultrafiltration modules to evaluate the effectiveness
of the selected treatment processes using water from both the Weber River and shallow groundwater in the area. The pilot testing demonstrated satisfactory results.
The Coalville WTP (TP002) consists of ultrafiltration and post-chlorination processes. The Coalville WTP (TP002) has a plant design capacity of 200 gallons per minute (gpm). The design
includes 2 trains of the ultrafiltration process, and each train can produce 200 gpm.
The treatment plant consists of the following processes in sequence:
WTP Well (WS006) - equipped to pump 300 gpm.
Pre-treatment chemical addition:
Sodium hypochlorite for oxidation of iron and manganese (not installed, for the future Weber River source)
Sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment
PolyaluminumChlorohydrate (ACH) as a coagulant to address organic matter (not installed, for future Weber River source)
Pre-strainer - Valve and Filter V-200PA Automatic Screen Filter included in the WesTech membrane skid.
Ultrafiltration – WesTech Model UFT52C, Alta Pac membrane skid; Toray HFU-2020N ultrafiltration membranes; 2 membrane trains; 12 membranes installed per train and 6 spare slots per train
for total potential future of 18 membranes per train; 200 gpm per train.
Post-chlorination – injecting sodium hypochlorite prior to the pipe loop for achieving disinfection CT.
Chemical Addition — sodium hydroxide for pH addition or corrosion inhibitor (not installed, for future Weber River source).
WTP Finished Water Pumps (PF002) - Centrifugal, redundant pumps (1 duty, 1 standby), 200 gpm each.
Pipe Loop – 560-foot pipe loop of 24-inch diameter located at the treatment plant for disinfection CT before releasing the finished water to the distribution system.
The Toray membrane modules are mounted on a skid manufactured by WesTech. The membrane process is programmed to provide automated backwash including an air scour set at regular intervals.
The backwash can also be triggered when the transmembrane pressure reaches a certain level. Pressure decay tests are programmed to run daily to verify membrane integrity via a direct
integrity test. Indirect integrity monitoring will be provided by turbidity monitoring of the individual filter effluent of each membrane train. Periodically, when more thorough cleaning
of the membranes is needed, a clean-in-place (CIP) cycle will be run using citric acid and/or sodium hypochlorite. During the CIP cleaning process, a CIP tank is used where either citric
acid or sodium hypochlorite is introduced in the tank with water. The CIP tank and CIP solution line is thoroughly flushed between each cycle to prevent interaction between incompatible
chemicals.
All chemicals meet the ANSI/NSF 60 standard. Spill containment for chemical solution tanks is provided through a trench drain, designed to handle the full volume of all chemical solution
tanks.
Backwash waste and neutralized waste will drain to the sewer system. The sewer system is owned and operated by Coalville City and is adjacent to the treatment plant. The backwash waste
and filter to waste lines extend into the floor grates below the finished grade of the building. A detailed description of the design and justification was provided by Christina Osborn,
P.E. with J-U-B Engineers, and reviewed and approved by Division staff and Division Director, Nathan Lunstad, Ph.D., P.E., to confirm the separation from the end of the pipes to the
flood rim of the trench drain (32.5 inches) meets the intent of the rule. ADDENDUM 2Compliance Strategy for Achieving Surface Water Treatment Goals
Coalville Water System (UTAH#22002)
Coalville WTP (TP002)Treatment Goals per Surface Water Treatment Rules
The Coalville WTP (TP002) consists of membrane filtration and post-chlorination processes. In the future, when the Weber River intake is added as a source, pre-chlorination for oxidation,
coagulation, pH adjustment and corrosion control processes will be included, with the current design allowing for the inclusion of these optional processes at a later time. This plant
has been designed to meet the requirements of the surface water treatment rules, as incorporated into Utah’s Rules in R309. These surface water treatment rules require removal and/or
inactivation, expressed in terms of log10 credit, of Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia, and viruses through treatment techniques.
The Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) requires:
3.0-log10 removal/inactivation for Giardia lamblia, and
4.0-log10 removal/inactivation for virus.
The Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) established four bin classifications for Cryptosporidium based on concentration in the source water. If a water system
has source water classified in Bin 1, LT2ESWTR requires 2.0-log10 removal forCryptosporidium. If a water system has source water in Bin 2, Bin 3, or Bin 4, LT2ESWTR requires additional
treatment, disinfection, or inactivation for Cryptosporidium, as outlined in EPA’s “Long Term 2 Enhance Surface Water Treatment Rule Toolbox Guidance Manual.”
The water source initially supplying this treatment plant is the WTP Well (WS006). The first round of sampling under LT2ESWTR shall begin immediately with a plan approved by the Division.
Once the Weber River is added as a source for TP002, it will need to begin LT2ESWTR monitoring requirements. The Coalville WTP (TP002) is designed to meet the Bin 1 requirements, i.e.,
2.0-log10 removal for Cryptosporidium. Following completion of the second round of LT2ESWTR source water monitoring required under R309-215-15(2)(b), filtered systems must recalculate
the Cryptosporidium bin concentration and report the bin classification to the Director for approval no later than 6 months after monitoring is completed. If the Bin classification has
changed, Coalville WTP (TP002) will be required to provide additional treatment, disinfection, or inactivation for Cryptosporidium.
In the event additional log removal credit is needed for a higher Bin classification, additional treatment will need to be installed. New Plan Approval would be required for any additional
treatmentCompliance StrategyPrimary FiltrationThe Coalville WTP (TP002) is using membrane filtration, Toray HFU-2020N ultrafiltration modules, for primary filtration. The Toray membranes
are skid mounted, with two membrane trains for the system.According to the Acceptance Letter of the Toray HFU-2020N Ultrafiltration Membrane dated February 19, 2014 from the California
Department of Public Health, the Toray HFU-2020N ultrafiltration membrane is credited for providing 4.0-log10 removal for Giardia lamblia and 4.0-log10 removal for Cryptosporidium if
the process is operated such that a maximum flux of 100 gal/ft2/day and a maximum trans-membrane pressure of 29 psi is not exceeded. The Division concurs with this determination.The
Division approves the Toray HFU-2020N ultrafiltration membrane as an alternative filtration technology for primary filtration under the surface water treatment rules. The Division grants
3.0-log10 credit for Giardia lamblia removal, and 2.0-log10 credit for Cryptosporidium removal for membrane filtration process.This granting of log10 credit for Giardia lamblia removal
and Cryptosporidium removal is dependent on the ongoing demonstration of performance of the Coalville WTP (TP002). This demonstration includes the daily direct integrity testing of the
membranes in accordance with R309-215-15(18)(b)(iii) and the continuous indirect testing of the membranes via continuous turbidity monitoring in accordance with R309-215-15(18)(b)(iv).
Per R309-200-5(a)(ii) and R309-530-9, the turbidity performance standard for this treatment plant is that the turbidity shall be less than 0.1 NTU 95% of the time, and shall not exceed
0.5 NTU.
Disinfection
A disinfection process was installed following the Toray ultrafiltration process to provide Primary Disinfection treatment in order to meet the 4.0-log10 removal/inactivation for virus
treatment goal for compliance with the surface water treatment rules. A disinfection CT (CT = Concentration × Contact Time) of 12 is needed to achieve the required 4-log10 inactivation
for virus at a water temperature of 0.5 oC and pH range of 6-9. Note that a different CT value is required for higher pH values or different water temperatures.
Post-chlorination of the membrane filtered water is provided by injecting sodium hypochlorite solution prior to filtered water entering the pipe loop system located at the treatment
plant. The example CT calculation provided demonstrated the CT using a minimum free chlorine residual of 0.3 ppm at the end of the pipe loop, a volume of 13,150 gallons through 560 feet
of 24-inch diameter pipe loop, a peak flow of 300 gpm and a baffling factor of 1.0. The Coalville WTP (TP002) design demonstrates it can provide an estimated disinfection CT of 13.1,
under the conditions outlined, which meets the 4.0-log10 virus inactivation requirement for the conditions of a water temperature of 0.5 oC and pH range of 6-9. These conditions demonstrate
the worst case scenario in terms of lowest anticipated chlorine residual and peak flow at build-out capacity of the ultrafiltration skids by adding additional modules.
The Coalville WTP (TP002) shall be required to demonstrate performance of the post-chlorination primary disinfection process at peak flow for each day of operation. This demonstration
will include the recording of the following parameters to perform a CT calculation of CT achieved, comparing this to CT required at the water temperature and pH and including the results
in the monthly reporting template:
Free chlorine residual and Point of Entry (POE) – measured by AE-403, with water sample provided by a 1-inch sample line tapped from the discharge location of the pipe loop.
pH – measured by AE-402, with water sample provided by a 1-inch sample line tapped from the discharge location of the pipe loop.
Temperature – measured by AE-402, with water sample provided by a 1-inch sample line tapped from the discharge location of the pipe loop.
Filtered water flow rate through pipe – measured by FE-400
Overall, the Coalville WTP (TP002) design meets the required treatment for Cryptosporidium for surface water classified as in Bin 1 under R309-215-15 of Utah’s Rules. The processes of
Toray HFU-2020N ultrafiltration membrane filtration and post-chlorination combined will achieve the treatment goals of:
3.0-log10 removal/inactivation required for Giardia lamblia,
2.0-log10 removal/inactivation required for Cryptosporidium (Bin 1 requirement), and,
4.0-log10 removal/inactivation for virus.
